Default turbo

looking to boost my ride i have had a few suggestions as to how to do it. i am always open to more suggestions so here it is i have heard i can use a diesel turbo from a dodge cumomons. a have also found a pair of new k27's on ebay for around four hundred not including shipping! never seen these k27 before. i have a verry reputable resource for my piping so im not worried so much about that. what i want to know is what size injectors i should start with also i have a stock computer and i know i will need an ignition system should i go with plane jane 6al or spend some more money on something more adjustible?

what sixe injectros depends on how much air you are forcing into the engine. And 15psi on a small turbo isn't the same as a larger turbo, so you'll have to different amounts of air being forced into the engine. I suggest you search for some of the turbo guys, (luckythirteen13) has a great setup, twin may i add. You will need to have:
lower C/R for lots of boost
-a good forged piston if heading for a bit of boost
-good size piping
-good intercooler
-supporting fuel mods
-supporting transmission/engine and suspension mods to handle the additional power you will be adding.
-LOTS of money to do it properly.
-knowledge of how turbos work to understand what you are doing better.

Any most of all, TIME, and patience.
